Hong Kong (PRWEB) May 12, 2005 -- TAGSYS, the global leader in Radio
Frequency Identification (RFID) tags and reading systems for item-level tracking
and authentication, announced today the opening of a new office in Hong Kong to
meet the growing demand for RFID implementation in the Northern Asian market.
This expansion strengthens TAGSYS’ overall presence in the Asia Pacific
region.
“The opening of the Hong Kong office expands TAGSYS’ strategic
plan to broaden its RFID activities in Northern Asia -- focusing on the most
rapidly growing regions: China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Taiwan,” said
Frederic Noe, Managing Director, TAGSYS Asia. “TAGSYS already has established
significant and reliable partner relationships in Southeast Asia through the
Singapore office, resulting in prestigious references and projects with high
profile clients. Our local presence in Hong Kong will have a dedicated sales and
technical team.”
Frederic Noe, who has been developing TAGSYS’ presence
in Asia from Singapore for the past three years, brings a wealth of experience
in building RFID networks and partnerships throughout Asia.
“We believe
Northern Asia will be at the forefront of RFID technology implementation," said
Elie Simon, CEO of TAGSYS. "Customer demand for end-to-end item-level visibility
continues to rise. Library RFID tagging, a segment in which TAGSYS already holds
a commanding lead, will continue to be a growth market in Asia, followed by
pharmaceutical and fashion apparel tagging.”
